The Prime Minister, who earlier insisted the president was not senile and had been on “good kind”, repeatedly insisted on Friday that he deserved “credit score” for internet hosting the occasion in Washington DC.
Talking at a press convention on the finish of the summit, he stated: “I might urge everybody to take a look at the substance of what’s been achieved over these two days.
“We now have a much bigger Nato, extra nations, we’ve got a stronger Nato. We now have an actual sense of resolve. The third of the council periods was the session with President Zelensky, there in relation to Ukraine.
“It was a session that he described as a hit due to the package deal popping out of it, and President Biden led by way of all of that. That’s an unimaginable achievement of this council.
“And after we consider the worldwide threats, that’s the very best end result we may have had right now, and so I believe he deserves credit score for that, as does the workforce [that] labored with him.”
